What you get

Keep your tasks, habits, and schedule together so you know what’s next.

You get one place to plan your work and personal commitments, with tasks, notes, and documents kept together. Capture plans in everyday language, including dates and times, so you spend less time filling in scheduling details. Daily, weekly, and someday views help you separate what needs attention now from what can wait.

You can keep using your Google, Outlook, or Apple calendar while bringing your schedule into ByDesign. When priorities change, drag tasks, notes, or pages into a new arrangement. Track your goals across devices, and check tasks and habits through Mac and iOS widgets without opening the app.

For shared work, you can invite teammates to coordinate tasks and schedules, share links, or publish documents as websites. That gives you a way to keep personal planning and team commitments in the same workspace.

  • Keep plans and context together

    You can keep tasks beside the notes and documents you need to act on them.

  • Spend less time scheduling

    You can enter plans in everyday language and have dates and times recognized automatically.

  • See what needs attention

    You can switch between daily, weekly, and someday views to distinguish immediate commitments from later plans.

  • Check progress at a glance

    You can view tasks and habits through Mac and iOS widgets without opening the app.

  • Coordinate shared commitments

    You can work with teammates on tasks and schedules and share documents through links or published web pages.

Best for

  • You want work tasks and personal habits in one planner.
  • You use Google, Outlook, or Apple calendars and want tasks alongside them.
  • You coordinate tasks and schedules with a team.

Skip it if

You probably don’t need it if a simple checklist and your existing calendar already cover your planning needs.
